I didn’t want to write, tonight. Being a single mother is hard, and I’m having a hard time of certain aspects of being a single mother. Stuff I’d love to wail and rant about here but what’s the use? The only good news so far is that the ex finally was honest enough with me to tell me he wasn’t going to be able to make any payments for a few months. 
At least I can stop asking him what he’s going to do. It’s humiliating to have to ask, and to have to swallow the lies as they are dished out — next week, next week, next week. And then have him somehow turn it around and make me the monster for sticking up for my kid. But yeah. At least I know.
But I didn’t want to write about any of that. It’s too close to the bone. I was going to go to bed and leave these pages empty, and was looking for a good book to read.
I found it. Dr. Leah Klungness send me a copy of the book she co-authored with Andrea Engber, The Complete Single Mother. I’m going to read it. And I’m going to write about it. And then I think I’ll give it to one of you…
So if you’re in the Single Mommyhood tonight, drop by and visit the Sanity Fairy. She might have some good advice for you, too.
Lisa, I’m sorry you know what I’m talking about. I hope it gets easier for you.
You have finally put a word with how I feel every time I have to ask my ex about childsupport. It is humiliated. I hate having to ask and I hate getting the lies. But I have to ask because I can’t cut it on my own.
Hang in there, it’s nice to know I am not the only one dealing with these types of issues.
